Shout Out to Don!
Thank you so much for your above-and-beyond professionalism and willingness to exceed my needs, accommodations, and expectations while staying here tonight.
I constantly cross the “Mighty Mac” and have always wanted to stay here. I am happy I finally had the opportunity! This hotel is very close to the city and has a wide variety of room styles while retaining a very nice, quiet, and clean accommodation at a reasonable cost.
I stayed here in the off-season. If you do, plan ahead of time and note that fewer places are open and the ones open tend to close earlier however, there are still a few local establishments open nearby for food, drink, and convince.
If you stay here in the summer… enjoy a nice and clean hotel within walking distance to everything in the city.
Thank you for a great experience and a peaceful evening.

Front desk staff csnt seem to tell people to be quiet while moving through hall ways... the fan pn the air conditioner wont stay on... so the rooms are stuffy and hot. The parking lot is ridiculously small.

Loved the stay here in Mackinaw. The room was clean and bed was super comfortable. Their breakfast area was very easy to move around for the food. The employees kept the breakfast starions filled up and the hot food was hot. I appreciate that service.
Staff employees were all friendly that I dealt with.
Definitely recommend stopping here when in the Mackinaw City area.
